Hello,

I am interested in taking the Talend Data Integration Certified Developer Using Talend Studio Exam and I wonder : do we know witch version of Talend will be used for the exam ? and is there a way to have an access to it in the process of certification/preparation to the certification, before taking the exam ?

If you have recently taken the certification I am particularly opened to advices !

Hello Adri1C,

Thank you for reaching out to the Qlik community.

The exam is based on Talend Data Integration v7.x (Talend Studio 7.x) concepts and features, and does not focus on Talend 8.x–specific changes.

Important Note:-

The exam is not limited to a specific minor version (such as 7.2 or 7.3). Instead, it evaluates core Talend Studio functionalities that remain consistent across all v7 versions.

Access to Talend Studio for Preparation:-

You can access Talend Studio without purchasing the exam, and you have multiple legitimate options, including:

Option A- Talend Open Studio for Data Integration (Free)

Fully downloadable
No license required
Includes the same Studio interface and core components covered in the exam

This is explicitly recommended in official preparation material.

Option B- Qlik Talend Trial (Enterprise Studio)

Time-limited trial (typically 14–30 days)
Provides access to remote repositories, project management features, and enterprise-level functionalities
Ideal for professionals working with enterprise Talend environments
